Japanese site. Neat.

Eccentric Cubicle

I'm currently without a workshop area pending some basement renovations. Most of the destruction has occurred, now we're just playing games with the electrician, plumber, drywaller and such trying to get them in. Yeah, yeah... I could do it myself - but it's doubly stressful with a two year old at your feet going "what doing daddy?" every minute or so.

Anyway, I can live vicariously through books like this. Eccentric Cubicle is a nice little guide to some very strange projects to make for your geekspace... that is, if your spouse or co workers don't mind a 14" working guillotine, ballista message projector or oscillating fog machine.

The book is written by Vancouverite Kaden Harris aka Eccentric Genius.

While most of the projects will ever exist in my mind ( like my Locost sports car ), his wiley building philosophy comes across nicely in the project writeups ( His scrap-fu is strong). At the very least it's inspired me to take another whack at the sadly neglected laser show. Worth a look.

Awesome...

Me (at work during lunch, finding this on the Internets): Dude! When I am old an infirm and needing one of those scooter things to get around, THIS is what I want to have.
Coworker 1: Cool.
Me: No, more than cool. Awesome!
Coworker 2: If it rolled over it would probably crush you.
Me: !... ( stunned silence at the utter boneheadedness of previous comment).
Me: Then I would be crushed by its AWESOMENESS!


Not the cleverest of responses, but it was better than nothing.
It is an awesome chair, though.

Beastly Boys and Ghastly Girls

One of the books I credit for my earlier influences. I recall getting this book out of the South Park Elementary Library over and over again, memorizing some of the better verses and acting them out at recess on the playground. I'm sure this book would spontaneously ignite if even brought near a school library today. I'm not even sure what it was doing in ours. Take a look...














Nasty.
